To point out these gaps in the industry is good friend and excellent cook, Daniel Williams, who has possibly one of the most aesthetically pleasing feeds on Instagram, curating immaculate vibes with music and food. With over 2 million followers, he’s definitely established himself as a bonafide taste maker. But why have certain brands not caught up? Watching the full video episodes on YouTube. Follow Daniel:
